Instructions

1. Stand straight with your feet together, arms by your sides and your gaze forward.

2. Shift your weight onto your left leg, keeping it slightly bent to maintain balance.

3. Engage your core and slowly lift your right leg, bending at the knee to bring it up towards your chest as high as comfortably possible.

4. Simultaneously, raise your left arm straight above your head while your right arm stays extended out to the side. This resembles the Yin Yang symbol with one side up and one side level.

5. Hold this lifted position for a couple of seconds, focusing on balance and stability.

6. Slowly lower your right leg back to the starting position while bringing your left arm down to your side.

7. Repeat the same movement on the opposite leg, lifting the left leg and right arm this time.

8. Alternate between legs for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Ensure to keep your movements controlled and avoid leaning too far forward or backward. The key is to maintain an upright torso and engage your core throughout the exercise for better balance and muscle activation.
